No route matches [POST] when submitting new form in Rails

I am getting a "No route matches [POST]" when submitting a new form.

### /routes.rb ###

resources :artists, controller: 'artists/artists', only: [:show] do
  member do
    resources :videos, controller: 'artists/videos', only: [:index, :new, :create, :edit, :update]
  end
end

### /artists/videos/videos_controller.rb ###

class Artists::VideosController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_artist

  def new
    @video = ArtistVideo.new
  end

  def create
    @video = @artist.create_artist_video(video_params)
    if @video.save
      redirect_to current_artist
    else
      render 'new'
    end
  end

   private
     def set_artist
       @artist = current_artist
     end
end

### /artists/videos/new.html.erb ###

<%= form_for(@video, url: new_video_path) do |f| %>
    <%= f.label :video_title, "title", class: "label" %>
    <%= f.text_field :video_title, class: "text-field" %>

    <%= f.label :video_description, "decription", class: "label" %>
    <%= f.text_field :video_description, class: "text-field" %>

    <%= f.label :youtube_video_url, "youtube url", class: "label" %>
    <%= f.text_field :youtube_video_url, class: "text-field" %>

    <%= f.submit "add video", class: "submit-button" %>
<% end %>

### rake routes ###

videos_path         GET      /artists/:id/videos(.:format)          artists/videos#index
                    POST     /artists/:id/videos(.:format)           artists/videos#create
new_video_path      GET      /artists/:id/videos/new(.:format)       artists/videos#new
edit_video_path     GET      /artists/:id/videos/:id/edit(.:format)  artists/videos#edit
video_path          PATCH    /artists/:id/videos/:id(.:format)       artists/videos#update
                    PUT      /artists/:id/videos/:id(.:format)       artists/videos#update

So not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've tried taking :index completely out so videos_path uses the post method, but I still have the same problem.

I'm using the has_many method linking videos to artists, if that even matters.

Not sure if it's the routs or the controller code that's wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

You're specifying a path url: new_video_path but that is for videos#new and what you want is the create path, which is a post to videos_path(@artist). Since it's a nested resource, the path has to have the artist_id which it can get from the @artist instance.

But, the simpler way to do this is like so:

form_for[@artist, @video] do |f|
